the air do i think cameron, we're doing your homework for you. >> i thought that right away. cameron is very smart. >> yes, she is. students can be among the most devastating weather-related events if you call it weather- related. it is not really weather- related. >> loosely. >> loosely. that we see on the planet. a tsunami is essentially a giant wave or series of waves that is made in an ocean or another very large body of water like the super big lake that is usually caused by an earthquake a landslide ache volcanic eruption or the impact of a meteor. >> really? >> yes. we're familiar -- we've gotten more familiar with tsunamis over the recent years after the large one we saw in asia and i think we have some file footage. but also because now tsunami warnings are more -- can we

have the camera back on tuck tucker, please. we are not done with tucker. the warnings are more common now because they have more of the the devices out there to detect tsunamis. tucker, you want to jump in. >> yeah, i do. i want to mention that they can move up to 500 miles per hour. so remember the big earthquake in chile a couple of months ago. they were issuing tsunami warnings for hawaii six hours, eight hours down the road. it is astonishing how fast they can move. imagine if you threw a big stone into a maul respond and you can watch the ripples of energy. same principle with the tsunami. >> what is curious is sometimes they don't develop after some of these events which scientists -- we are still learning a lot of about tsunamis. they can be very devastating but essentially, that is what it is. you know what? it is not a tidal wave.

those are two different things because tsunamis have very little to to with tides. they occur whenever they occur based on the event that causes them. so there you go. i hope you get an a on your homework. thank you for writing in. if you would hike to have your question answered, go to myfoxdc.com and click on the weather tab. we'll try our best to answer it for you as accurately as we can i can't or if you would like the guys to do your homework for you, then feel free to send that along as well. >> cameron, if you don't get an a, le -- let us know. we'll make these guys do a little more research. >> how embarrassing to have the weather guys do your homework and you don't get an a. >> that wouldn't be good. >> what does that say about you guys? >> it would not be good. >> all right. well, good luck. on the roads this morning, outer loop. beltway at 202, this is where we have the accident activity. runner nexting delay here as
